That's why the owners are all millionaires !

And also one reason I didn't go back to work at any....here the shop rates are about $90/hr, and the "very top" techs get $20-25 of that.

exactly, grandma or mom doesnt know what to do with their car when it is making a funny noise so they take it to the dealership and get ripped off cuz they dont know any better.

i thought forums were meant to find answers , not comments that dont help anything. how about someone that knows something besides how much life sucks.

look, im sorry nobody can find your anwser. my advice to you LIVE AND LEARN, and that was an Expensive mistake you made.

if you dont like the "comments that dont help anything" then get out B/C that is what forums are all about. if you cant find your anwser then too bad go to another, but dont complain about it.


this forum isnt just a place to "find Answers" , its about the all around gossip about the supra.

.

so after all that..did it fix itself or not?

so far ive also replaced a hose going to the ICS valve that had a small crack. removed the ICS and took it apart and cleaned it. (no water there) now i'm looking for a new accordian tube going to the throttle body from the mass airflow sensor because it has a crack in it. it must be a sealed unit.

anyway... not fixed yet. anyone have any other ideas on what to check?

[hyatt200]

well. i made a liar out of myself. i decided to go and change valve cover gaskets. while in there , i found more water (and oil). i changed the valley gasket and valve cover gaskets , after getting "all' the water this time.

it's so clean in there now you could eat lunch off it.

unfortunately i'm still waiting on my accordian hose that the dealer totally screwed up for me. so i cant start it yet. maybe in a couple days.

i'm finding out , supra parts arent easy to find.

[hyatt200]

well. after all the water was removed it still idled like $#1* . i bought a used intake off ebay which had a idle control speed valve on it. changed it out and i'm back to normal with a very very cleaned "new" looking motor.

there was never water in this sensor when i took it apart. the sensor was sticking in one position. why this happened when washed , i dont know.

thanks for the help and hope my experience helps someone out later in life.
